Youth Ignite 2026

Proudly presented by Council’s YEAH! Crew (Youth Events, Activities and Happenings), Youth Ignite 2026 offers a jam-packed program featuring live music performances, interactive life-skill level up zones, wildlife encounters, delicious food trucks, and direct access to local support and career advice from community partners.

There’ll be a wide selection of food trucks including Spud Stick, Uncle Jum’s Baked Potatoes, and Grampians Ezy Eats, and Hippie Whippy Ice Cream. All food vendors will accept cash and EFTPOS on the day.

The first 149 attendees will receive a free show bag filled with sweet treats from Flossy’s & Poppy’s, YEAH Crew merch and more!

Enjoy live music by local group Band In Progress and wildlife encounters courtesy of Tyron’s Wildlife Encounters, and connect with local emergency services, community groups, and education providers at our interactive stalls designed to help young people level up their future.

To ensure access for everyone across the municipality, free regional bus transport will be provided by Christians Bus Company.

Youth Ignite 2026 is strictly a smoking, vaping, e-cigarette, drug, and alcohol-free event. Professional crowd control and community safety partners will be on-site throughout the day.
